It is koreader have changed rotation. The KoboLauncher doesn't change the rotation it just draws transformed i.e. rotated image instead.

I guess the problem is that KoboLauncher starts child processes detached. I.e they both koreader and KL run at the same time. If they both will react on touch event trying to update screen, having different (changed by koreader) frame buffer information screen corruption will occur.

I wonder will it help if KoboLauncher will hide its main window when launched application starts?

If I make a new bash script "KoboLauncher.sh", don't I have to make it executable with
chmod +x ? I'm not up to speed on scripting inside a dedicated device and I only have a Linux on a CD available at the moment.

In the File Manager you can also click on the top row, this is a bit easier to reach than the [x].
A menu opens with the selection "Last documents" and "Exit". Might be easier to close the File Manager through "Exit". it still reboots the device, though...

Can't confirm the accented characters problems, my German umlauts show up.
Change page in File Manager is done by swiping to left/right.

I just installed koreader on my Aura (, previously enabled telnet and kobolaucher) and ran it using telnet. The kobolaucher script adjustment via sh-old also only displayed an icon. Results:
- It works. Although it seemed to get stuck after a while. I rebooted via telnet.
- I cannot load other pdf's. There is a book icon in the upper left corner, but I cannot reach it: it's too small.

Basically, I hope that I can read pdf's with scanned pages and OCR-text underneath, while having the use of a dictionary (in german philosophical texts it's nice to be able to check wheter you don't understand the word or a thought) and to be able to make notes. Is that realistic?

Basically, it's a problem of KoboLauncher :P I don't know how it paints the screen but it seems uncorrect since it keeps using it even when it's not doing anything. For the time being (at least until someone ports Tweaks) you have to sacrifice the other programs and place the command to open koreader in KoboLauncher's shell script, so that it does not open its app.

? and the "KoboRoot.tgz\etc - TAR+GZIP archive, unpacked size 7,958 bytes" goes into .kobo? to do an update?

Does the launche2.png go to the same location as the original launcher.png? It looks like that to me, but the earlier directions were to put it in the "root" (which should be the same as " /mnt/onboard" )

That is how WinRAR lists the file. I am pretty sure I understand, but I wanted to make it as clear as possible for myself and others who don't really speak "penguin". Thanks very much for this fix, it should make things much easier.
